Frequently Asked Questions

What age is this course designed for?

AI & Machine Learning is tailored for teenagers aged 12 to 18. Students should have foundational Python knowledge (variables, loops, functions) before enrolling.

What software and libraries are taught?

We teach real Python libraries: NumPy, Pandas, Matplotlib, Scikit-learn, and PyTorch. Classes run in Google Colab or local VS Code notebooks without hardware limits.

Is a high-end GPU required?

No. We utilize cloud-hosted GPU environments such as Google Colab, allowing students on any standard laptop or Chromebook to train deep learning models seamlessly.
